Dearest Evelyn,

It has been raining again all day which does not help my gloomy feeling one bit. If I were the sort of person that enjoyed being lonesome, depressed, and blue this would be heaven. If I get by until you come back without seeing Grover [?] it will be a proven fact that I can take it. This is a heck of a way to start a letter by feeling sorry for myself, well it isn’t that bad but I do miss you.

When are you coming home? How are the folks and what is their attitude? What kind of job did the T.V.A. offer. Were you tired after the trip? Have you seen the cousins? Do you still love me? Have you not missed me at all. Was the party a success? How do you think the wedding will be. Have you met any interesting people? (I hope not) Is the range and refrigerator working properly. Why can’t I get an answer to these questions?

It is 6:35 and Tommie Dorsey is playing, nothing, except that it reminds me of what I was doing last week and the week before.

Frank Aldridge was down today, he wants to rent the apartment that Sam is going to move out of. I told him nothing doing that some big plans were being made for that place.

The boss got his new car today. He’s as happy as a kid on Christmas day, so is Blanche (dammit). In case you are worried about your car, it hasn’t been out of the garage. I know I’m welcome to use it but there hasn’t been an occasion to need it.

Before I close there is something else that should be told, I love you and want you so very very much. For the millionth time, won’t you make it July 10th or earlier. and again,

I Love You

James Orville
